Performance of Two Custom Probe Kits for In‐Solution Enrichment of Ancient Avian DNA
Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis remains challenging due to low endogenous DNA content of degraded samples. Hybridisation-based in-solution enrichment has emerged as an effective tool for targeting genomi...

Our new @science.org paper is out! Cuckoos and hosts are locked in a coevolutionary arms race over egg mimicry.
But how are these egg types inherited, and could this drive speciation? We sequenced hundreds of genomes to find out!

Genomic architecture of egg mimicry and its consequences for speciation in parasitic cuckoos
Host-parasite arms races facilitate rapid evolution and can fuel speciation. Cuculus cuckoos are deceptive egg mimics that exhibit a broad diversity of counterfeit egg phenotypes, representing host-ad...

This work shows the first overview on the population genetics and demographic history of the big European firefly, **Lampyris noctiluca**. Feeling very happy this work is out :) academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...
Sex-biased Migration and Demographic History of the Big European Firefly Lampyris noctiluca
Abstract. Differential dispersion between the sexes can impact the colonization process and demographic history of a species. Here, we explored the demogra
